Before Your Very Eyes traces the lives of seven characters in fast-forward, "from angst-ridden teens to hunched geriatrics," and all from "behind the safety of one-way mirrors," according to press notes. "As we adults try to stop the process of aging and preserve youth as long as we can, the children peer into the future and nostalgically back at their recent past, as they prepare to leave childhood behind forever."
